[AuckLUG] I'm back in Auckland -- post OT about Computer Power Supply Repairs..

[Chris Hodgetts]

Hey, after 3 fun filled years in Wellington, I am back in Auckland.
Did some very very cool stuff while I was down there, but now am back
working in TV here in Auckland.


**** DISCLAIMER ****

I am not sure if I can do this, so ALL posts to this please reply to me
OFF LIST..

If this list does not allow the type of requests I am about to do then
can Mark the list admin, advise me off list, and not start a flame war
about the nature of the post.

**** Where the linux comes into it ****

I have an Asterisk PBX linux box, and it appears that the power supply
did not like the move up to Auckland.

I have two identical machines and I took the power supply out of the
other box, and it powered up, so it's not the mother board.

It looks like one of the caps has gone on it as the light on the mother
board comes on and then fades to off and pulses on and off.

I would just replace it, but it's a Compaq Deskpro -- so it's a
preparatory power supply unit which makes things harder.

I am looking for a shop, anywhere, who fixes electronic things, fairly
cheaply or someone who is happy to do it at home for some cash.

I am based on the North Shore, but yeah, I will drive to get this unit
fixed :).

Thanks , once again, all posts please go off list, and Mark if I have
done something naughty abuse me off list.....

Thanks........
